This drill weekend, we highlight two everyday moments: the PMCS that keeps our vehicles ready, and our soldiers capturing the 58th Expeditionary Military Intelligence Brigade (EMIB) Change of Command and Responsibility as we welcome our new Brigade Commander and CSM.

As we close out the year, a sincere thank-you to our families and everyone who supported us. We’re proud of what we’ve done and look forward to 2026 with renewed purpose.

We can’t wait to share more. 📸

Hooah, and happy holidays! 🎉

Congratulations are in order! The MPAD's very own Sgt. Henry was promoted to the rank of Staff Sgt. this summer!

This is a much deserved promotion. Just this year alone, Staff Sgt. Henry has participated in the National Guard's Presidential Inauguration support, Operation Northwind in Sapporo, Japan, coverage of a State Partnership Program mission in Bosnia, as well as heading the ARNG National Best Warrior Competition social media coverage.

On May 3, 2025, the 29th MPAD held a Change of Command ceremony as we bid farewell to MAJ Erica Mitchell and welcomed MAJ Michael Fedner as our new commander.

Since January of 2022, MAJ Mitchell has led the 29th MPAD with distinction, professionalism, and unwavering dedication. Her leadership and mentorship have left a lasting impact on our Soldiers and the mission, and we thank her for her outstanding service and commitment to the unit.

We are proud to welcome MAJ Fedner as the incoming commander! We look forward to his leadership and vision as he takes the helm of the 29th MPAD.

Please join us in congratulating both leaders as they embark on the next chapters of their careers!

For the final drill weekend of 2024, the 29th MPAD made its way to Washington D.C. to participate in the DC National Guard Holiday Toy Ruck. The toys were later presented to children who will spend the holidays at the Children's National Hospital. Afterwards, we held our annual holiday party, exchanged gifts, and promoted LT Rodgers to the rank of CPT. 2024 was an outstanding year for the MPAD, and we are very excited to see what 2025 has in store for us!

It's always a great Army weekend when new skills can be learned and Soldiers get promoted!

This past drill weekend, the MPAD learned how to utilize green screens for video production. This allows filmmakers to digitally remove the green color in post-production and replace it with any desired background, essentially placing the subject in a different scene or environment.

After this fun training, Sgt. Glazier was promoted to the rank of Staff Sgt. Please join us in saying congratulations to Staff Sgt. Glazier!
